Conditions We Treat
Back Pain Treatment In Malta
Precise diagnosis. Targeted treatment. Lasting relief.
Most back pain has a specific, treatable cause. Finding it is the first step.
Back Pain Facts
Back Pain is a very common condition. In fact, it has been estimated that 85% of all people will experience debilitating back pain at some time in their lives. Thankfully, most episodes of back pain resolve with time, or a modest course of conservative care. It is important to note that experiencing an episode of back pain does not mean that you have a bad back.
But, if your pain persists, worsens, or frequently re-occurs, Dr. Block provides a thorough evaluation and expert diagnostics that allows us to understand why your particular back pain continues to trouble you and provides information necessary to effectively treat your condition.
Our approach
Hands-on care that targets the source
Dr. Block's evaluation goes beyond surface-level assessment. He identifies the specific structure generating your pain — disc, joint, nerve, or muscle — and builds a treatment plan around that finding. No two patients receive the same protocol.
Causes of Back Pain
Back Pain can have many different causes, and, for effective treatment, we must determine where your particular problem is coming from. Common sources of back pain include:
Does This Sound Like You?
Many of our back pain patients describe one or more of these:
Pain that is mostly on one side when sitting for prolonged periods (like computer work or long car rides)
Pain that is worsened when getting in or out of a chair or car
Persistent pain since pregnancy
Pain that radiates into your groin or down your leg
Pain that hasn't improved with prior care
Why Accurate Diagnosis Matters
How We Get You Better
Diagnose
A disc injury, a sacroiliac joint problem, and a facet joint irritation can all produce similar symptoms — but they require different treatments. Dr. Block's evaluation uses orthopedic testing, movement assessment, and clinical reasoning to identify the specific structure responsible for your pain.
Treat
Treatment is matched precisely to the diagnosis: spinal manipulation, McKenzie-based directional therapy for disc problems, targeted SI joint mobilization, soft tissue work, IASTM, or Pain Reprocessing Therapy for neuroplastic pain. There is no one-size-fits-all protocol.
Rehabilitate
Rehabilitation exercises are introduced early to reinforce the gains from hands-on care and build the stability needed to prevent recurrence. The goal is lasting improvement, not ongoing treatment.
